Student services are intermediaries offering student jobs, which are the lowest paid jobs in the country. Certain light jobs also pay as little as €2.5 per hour, which is considered slave labour. In addition, the employer does not have to pay the student's travel and meal expenses, which is an extra level of exploitation of this population. Student work, on the other hand, is in fierce competition with all those seeking long-term work through the employment services, as statistics have shown for years (and decades) that employers prefer to employ a student in the short term (because they do not have to pay contributions, holidays, travel expenses and refreshments) rather than a jobseeker from the employment services in the long term. As long as there is a market for cheap labour (such as student labour) and as long as there are services that make money at other people's expense, the labour market in the country for the rest of us will not be fluid and dynamic, nor will it be fair and valued, because an unfair and discriminatory system is being set up that only serves the middlemen - leaving both students (who are semi-free labour) and other jobseekers (who, because of the students, do not even come close to the employer) at a disadvantage on the other side.
